Software update system and method

Abstract

The invention provides a software update system and a method. The software update method provided by the invention comprises the following steps: an update strategy module sets an update strategy according to information of a query version management module; the update strategy module checks whether the current version of a client is in line with the update strategy or not after the client logs in a server and returns a check result to the client; the client starts an update execution module to initiate the software update when being in line with the update strategy; and the update execution module downloads an update software package from the server and executes the update. When a fault occurs, the update software package is replaced by a fault repair package, and the software update method can be utilized for realizing the fault repair. The software update process and the fault maintenance process can become simpler and more controllable by setting the update strategy through the software update system and / or the method, and the practical effects are very significant.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention discloses a software updating system and method. More specifically, it relates to a system and method for software fault maintenance and automatic update. Background technique [0002] With the increasingly mature software technology of multimedia terminals, the functional requirements of multimedia terminal products have also changed from simplification to diversification, and more and more environments are supported, and the requirements for product reusability are getting higher and higher. For each version update, for different versions and different environments, it is often necessary to make multiple software packages of the same target version, which increases the workload of engineers and developers. [0003] There are several problems in the current software upgrade: 1. The engineering operation is complicated, and multiple upgrade software packages need to be made for each module in the system; 2. If you upgrade, you must upgra...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] There are several problems in the current software upgrade: 1. The engineering operation is complicated, and multiple upgrade software packages need to be made for each module in the system; 2. If you upgrade, you must upgrade all of them, and it is impossible to only update users in a certain area ;3. Due to the different client versions, developers need to judge whether the client version is compatible with the target version before updating. In this way, developers need to know the information of each version. If the judgment is wrong, the update will fail, which is relatively subjective. And there is no standard; 4. To solve the fault, the existing technology can only be fully upgraded, but in fact, it is often only necessary to replace or modify a few files to complete the fault repair
